This waiata is commonly used to welcome visitors. The image of pulling a waka to shore can symbolise unity and bringing people together. Focus on learning the tune, words and actions to the waiata. Don't worry about the Haka and poi as well do our own version of these once we know the waiata well.
Happy learning!

LYRICS:
Tōia mai te waka nei
Kūmea mai te waka nei
Ki te takotoranga i takoto ai
Tiriti te mana motuhake
Te tangi a te manu e
Pīpīwharauroa
Kūi! Kūi! Kūi!
Whitiwhiti ora!
Hui e, tāiki e.
